Water Damage Insurance Claims in Florida
Get Help From Licensed Florida Public Adjusters Who Maximize Your Settlement
Water damage can occur suddenly or develop over time, often causing damage that is not immediately visible. Plumbing leaks, appliance failures, roof leaks, and storm-related water intrusion can affect flooring, walls, ceilings, and structural components. While insurance policies may cover these losses, water damage insurance claims in Florida are frequently underpaid or denied due to how the damage is documented or classified.
Ocean Point Claims helps Florida homeowners manage water damage insurance claims from start to finish. Our licensed public adjusters inspect the damage, prepare detailed documentation, and communicate directly with the insurance company to ensure all covered damage is properly presented.
Types of Water Damage Claims We Handle
Water damage is not always limited to the area where the leak or intrusion begins. Moisture can travel through building materials, creating hidden damage that worsens over time.
We regularly assist homeowners with water damage claims involving:
- Plumbing leaks and burst pipes
- Appliance leaks from washers, water heaters, or dishwashers
- AC Leaks leading to interior damage
- Roof leaks and storm-related water intrusion
- Interior water damage to flooring, drywall, and ceilings
- Moisture damage leading to mold growth
Because water damage often spreads beyond visible areas, thorough inspections are critical to documenting the full scope of loss.
Why Water Damage Claims Are Often Underpaid
Water damage insurance claims are commonly underpaid because insurers focus on the visible source of the leak rather than the extent of resulting damage. Drying efforts may be incomplete, secondary damage may be excluded, or coverage may be limited based on how the loss is categorized.
Policy language related to sudden versus long-term damage is often used to restrict coverage, even when damage occurred quickly and was not immediately visible. Without detailed documentation, important portions of the claim may be overlooked or minimized.
What Is Commonly Missed in Water Damage Claims
Even when water damage is acknowledged, significant elements of the loss are frequently missed. Common issues include:
-
-
- Moisture trapped behind walls or under flooring
- Damage to insulation and structural materials
- Secondary damage caused by delayed drying
- Flooring or cabinetry requiring full replacement rather than repair
- Code upgrade requirements related to water damage repairs
-
Identifying and documenting these issues helps ensure the claim reflects the true cost of restoring the property.
Water Damage in Condo and HOA Communities
Water losses in condos and HOA properties often affect multiple units, shared plumbing lines, and common areas. Claims can quickly become complicated since responsibility may fall under a master policy, an HO 6 policy, or both.
Ocean Point Claims Company coordinates with association boards, property managers, and unit owners to determine coverage and prevent unnecessary disputes. We handle communication with all insurers involved and make sure every unit affected by water damage receives proper compensation.
Third-Party Liability Water Damage Claims
In condominiums, townhomes, and multi-unit properties, water damage may extend beyond a single unit. When a leak originates in one unit and impacts surrounding units, responsibility may ultimately involve the liability portion of the unit owner’s insurance policy.
These situations often involve more coordination, especially when multiple insurance companies are involved. In many cases, filing a water damage insurance claim under your own homeowners policy can provide clearer options and faster resolution, while insurers address responsibility between themselves. Ocean Point Claims helps homeowners understand their options and ensures water damage is properly documented so the claim moves forward without unnecessary delays.
